3: Highlight basic known facts (add/sub, mult/div/ fractions/decimals etc)
4: Work on strategy - teach children how to derive new facts
5: Memorisation
Reinforcement of Basic Facts locked into memory
Use flash cards to practice targeted facts
Allow students time to practice targeted facts before testing.
Some children need to be taught how to access information from their memory
